WinXP Pro will not shut down, but will Win98. [dual boot setup] [win98se]

2011-01-23 / Operating Systems / 0 Comments

Q: Hey everybody, I have a little problem here is that tapping the heck of me. Im doing a dual boot setup for a machine at work with Win98SE and WinXP ProSp1. Problem is that Windows XP is not eliminated. When I hit “shut down” it goes through all normal things (saving settings, etc.), connect to the “It is now safe to turn off your computer” screen. Strange that it does so as Win98SE does not. It closes right down. Ive searched all system settings, power settings, BIOS settings, etc., for every

To update or not to work . That is the question [win98se] [firstly]

2010-09-20 / Operating Systems / 0 Comments

Q: The title of the question explains itself . Im looking to update to Win2K and Im looking for the best advice on how to do this. First, I totally from scratch and format my hard drive, or is it ok to just run Win2K as an update on Win98. I have a few problems with WIN98SE at the moment . So my thinking is (and correct me if Im wrong) to start from scratch. I used Win2K a lot in the past, but never felt the need to upgrade my own system. Ill be working for WIN XP when it is finally released her

Is it my imagination or is WinXP seem more vulnerable to malware than Win9x? [win98se] [imagination]

2010-07-13 / Operating Systems / 0 Comments

Q: I have not changed my OS on my work system since it was new. Im running Win98SE and have no reason to change it.

My thought is that maybe because XP is probably the most used OS at the moment, people are more crap for XP to write than the older OS.
